DIRECT SOW (recommended) - Sow as soon as possible in the spring after the last frost. Sow seeds 8mm deep, 1cm apart, in rows at least 100cm apart. It is not necessary to thin for leaf harvest, but can thin later to 15-40cm apart if larger plants or seeds are desired.
TRANSPLANT - Sow seeds 8mm deep in containers 4-6 weeks before transplanting. Transplant outside after the last frost. Transplant 15-40cm apart in rows that are at least 100cm apart.
NOTE – Remove seed heads before browning to keep from spreading invasively.
